Um, haven't you ever seen War Games or Weird Science? People have fantasies about computers that come to life... duh! ;)
A $30K talking chess board?

LOL!!! that was the 1st thing I turned off on Fritz. Aren't they remaking WarGames to give it more of a modern touch to it? They remade the Karate Kid and it stank like week old bologna

I don't think I'd pay $30.00 for it, much less $30,000... Why pay that much for a feature I quickly turned off in Fritz? :)
